NSV.....Heels All Night!
Pixie Dust replied to Diamondeyed's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know how exciting that must have felt! I have some Ferragamo's I bought BC (before children), which I still have saved & wrapped in tissue paper in the box that I hope to get back into someday. My feet are puffy but hopefully with WLS, they'll fit again one day. If not, I'm requesting they go with me in my coffin someday! Enjoy your NSV! -

Hi Pretty Thick, your life is coming together in all sorts of ways and I'm so happy for you. I think you are tapping into flow. Your self-esteem is higher and you're exuding happiness. Other people like to have those people around them. When we are in that place of flow we find ourselves receiving all sorts of unexpected rewards. It's about energy and connection. I'm sorry some others felt the need to rain on your parade in the name of society's tendency to overlook heavier people when it comes to promotion, etc. You earned every penny of that and you know it. You are smart, talented and you've put in your time. Because we still have a society where men are paid more, receive the better jobs, etc., we need women like you to be making it up the ladder into places of power and decision so you can help equalize the playing field and create a better society. Here's to asking for something. I think that's what this NSV is all about. You held up your head, marched in and made a request -- and it worked! Congratulations on that. You are advocating for yourself and for what you want, which is to create a new life in the same geographic region with some one you love. I think you are saying that having your band and losing the weight gave you that confidence. That is a tremendous NSV. Maybe it's good to be aware that not every one will be happy for you and you will need to protect yourself from others sometimes. Maybe this forum is a little microcosm of that. You don't need to make any excuses for the industry you're in or the man's world we still all find ourselves in despite years of feminists working so hard. We are not going to get there by dropping out or saying no because existing conditions aren't yet what they should be. Here's to saying YES and to asking for what we want and need. I am really proud of you.

I got up this morning, realized I am close to the weight I was when I got married 5+ years ago. I had gained almost 50 pounds before being banded. So.........I dug to the back of the closet, pulled out my wedding dress, put it on and ZIPPED IT UP! Then proceeded to call anyone who would listen and tell them. I am so excited. I am only 2 lbs from being 1/2 way to goal! YIPPEE:whoo::clap2:

Okay...may be a stupid question, but what does NSV stand for?
-
Just had a minor emergency in my neighborhood. I pulled on a pair of jeans and ran out to help. It wasn't until later that I realized I was comfortably wearing jeans from my "too tight" pile. Great feeling!

What a wonderful feeling that is, to realize that you FIT in the world like one of the "normal" people. Congratulations, Margo! That is a really great NSV.

So great news and a problem... I've lost about 20 lbs so far and my engagement ring is getting really lose. I have about 50 more to go to get to my goal weight. Other than getting it resized often, what do you do to tighten your rings? When I was little I tied yarn around a few times but that gets a bit nasty when washing hands. I remember some metal thingy to clamp on there but I can't find it on amazon or eBay. Suggestions?

4 months banded I read about alot of bandster nsv's , and would always feel like, oh yippee for that person. 10lbs gone, 20, now im at 30lbs gone. (must update my ticker). 1) well, this morning i had one. actually, ive had more but just had to put my mind to it. this morning i was getting ready for work, red undies call for a red bra, i start rummaging through my lingerie drawer and pull out a red bra. oh yeah, i remember that one. deep plunge in front held together with a little ring. hmmm, let me try it on. i reach behind me and i feel the extender that i had brought because all of my bras hurt, they were too tight. i felt around and unhooked the extender... my bra fit. very well i might add. no extender, no pain, boobies look damn good in my pretty red deep plunge bra!!! 2) i a few weeks ago, i got in my car to go to work and damn... sans cell phone. before the band, i would just go to work, change my msg to say: hey, i forgot my phone at home, call me on my work #... well, this particular time, i got out my car, ran upstairs, got my phone, ran down and got in my car. not winded, no problems. wow. did it w/o thinking about it. those are just two and there are more. im at 204lbs. 5 more to be on OneDerland. i gained 20 some odd lbs in the last two years. where im at right now is only 6-8 lbs lighter than two years ago. nobody has really noticed anything about me. i do. its all uncharted territory now. every lb. will count. i love my band. -r

I had my first nsv yesterday. My jeans that I had been wearing were way to big so I dug out the jeans I knew were in my closet ( the I know I will fit into these again one day jeans) they had been there for 3 YEARS! I put them on..... TOO BIG, they were falling off! They are 3 sizes smaller then pre surgery size! It felt amazing!!!!!!!!

Anyone else thinking prematurely to get rid of fat clothes
SimiStar replied to trekker954's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I heard that you should keep at least one pair of your 'At my biggest' jeans to compare and put on when your x months down the path to a new you. That way you can really feel that difference. A good NSV moment. Especially on stall weeks. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
This is getting expensive
dragon replied to myrori's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
look at it this way; how much have you saved on the food you aren't eating? The co-pays you skip because you don't need medicine? You are probably just re-distributing the money you would have spent anyway without the surgery (I can't wait to re-distribute into some REALLY cute boots.... and clothes from pinupgirl.com; that will be my very expensive NSV!) -
*LOL* Watch it, Harleygirl!! Things really ARE bigger here in Texas! But I had to laugh because I had a similar experience with a ring that i never could wear because it was just a bit too tight. When my son had to take a link out of my watch band, I decided to try that ring and .. Whooppeee!! It finally fits! Isn't it funny where we seem to lose weight first? Congrats on your NSV!!!

I can actually see my penis when I take a pee !!!

My very favorite NSV is when my boobs and stomach were no longer a single entity.

I just got home from my three month appointment and it looks like I will officially become a loser towards the end of July! I am pretty pumped up. I cant wait to start seeing some NSVs. This fall I am going to sit in a tree stand while hunting and not praying that the 300lb weight limit on the stand was just a suggestion. So far my biggest worry is the drain tube and catheter. But it will be worth it!
